Electronics in Singapore

[Jejunum]

Hey Hey!

My rent's are going to Singapore for a day or two and they wanted to know if there was anything that I wanted. Are there any nifty nerd toys in Singapore that arent available in the US. Links/descriptions and aproximate prices if possible :beer:


thanks all!

when in asia, these are the stuff you should look out for .

LAPTOPS,
Portable Music Players
Car Receivers
Then all other electronics.

any specific models though? im not going so i cant look! i have a dell 600m, and a kenwood mp3 player for my car; so unless its special i cant justify any purchasing

Sadly no. Unless your parents are going to Japan, I think you're gonna be dissappointed.

I have been to Japan, not terribly impressed-and frankly prices were so high that it was irrelevant!

You can always buy Window XP off the street for $1

My friend went to Hong Kong last year and he bought a 512MB USB Thumbdrive for $5...

You'll only find generic, off brand stuff to be cheap. Name brand items are not going to be any less, in fact you may be surprised to see they cost a lot more money than at your local compusa.

If those things are still available, ask them to buy a SNES or NES with 1400 games built in.

you can get a hand tailored suit in 8 hours

 

Cell phones on the grey market? Do they have that type of thing there?

The phones in Singaproe are not suitable for the services here unless he gets a Triband phone.
